Event comes to Nickel City for the first time in its nine-year history
More than 60 young athletes turned up at Laurentian University’s gymnasium early Sunday morning to see if they might have what it takes to become an Olympic athlete.
The sports partners involved in the program include Flag Football Canada, Squash Canada, Cycling Canada, Rugby Canada, Freestyle Canada, Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton, Canoe Kayak Canada, Climbing Escalde Canada, Freestyle Canada , Luge Canada, Rowing Canada, Rugby Canada, Speed Skating Canada, Squash Canada, Volleyball Canada and Wrestling Canada.
“They have four tests - power, strength, speed and endurance. And the best part about it as you could be a soccer player growing up your whole life, and you maybe have the same strength as an Olympic cyclist or an Olympic speed skater. So the whole point of this program is that there's a ton of different sports that you might not even know exists.”
